I had to walk 2 miles uphill in 3 feet of snow both ways to get to and from school and I never once received a free lunch.

Today they don't even walk to the bus stop. The parents drive them to the corner to stay warm and dry in the mini van till the bus arrives.

You should have seen the look on my sons' faces the first winter back in PA after 11 yrs in Vegas when I woke them up at 6 AM to help shovel the driveway. They were in 8th, 9th and 12th grade at the time

Ahaha. This happens every school morning at the bus stop near my house.

A little cold never killed anyone......... except all those Nazis and French that invaded Russia, but fuck them, they're not Kiwanis.

Me too. I drive out of my development and there are cars at every corner with kids inside to keep warm. Usually about 100 yards from the house they live in. I just don't get it. When I was a kid we walked to the end of the street and waited. If it was cold we put on a fucking hat.

Think that makes you tough? Bitch. I bet you were so badass you wore 180's instead of a full hat.

If you ever get out my way you need to hit up Illegal Pete's. It was Chipotle before there was Chipotle.

There is one big hang up with that plan Ziner, I'm not gay, nor am I a fat ass. As far as getting out your way, you're in Denver right, or Colorado at least, I won't step foot in that place till Elway is dead.

Easy solution. You get fat from Chipotle by eating it 4 times a day only to lose weight from it by eating it only once a day. Pure genius, that plan will not fail.

I'm like CDT I don't care for fancy fries, must have something to do with being German. I fret more over the style of fry, I like fresh hancut, steak and wafer fries the best, gotta be hot, little salt and some ketchup and occassionally vinegar. 5 guys has pretty good fries IMO.

Hell I bet if we try hard enough we can turn this into a discussion about the impact of Africas sugar cane trade on the Killer whale hunters of the Great Northwest.

Smothered with salt & pepper

Dude- the fries and gravy has long been a favorite. Very sporadic given my family history of dropping dead early in life, but every once in a while, like last August at G & M in B'More with a crab cake dinner and Yeunglings )

The fact there is a politically fueled thread about fries makes me long for the days that PC was a simple tool for playing Diablo and Starcraft as well as watching people put weird things in weird places. I just came here to say Five Guys fries with malt vinegar and a touch of salt for the win. BTW, is this agenda, and the concepts of fighting obesity, heart disease, and diabese, an indictment that our government is too big our that parents are doing a shittier and shittier job?

Diabetes and Obese? I like it.

I am glad they revised some of this stuff. The Jamie Oliver show was really eye opening (ie. Hamburger Bun had to be added to a meal of grilled chicken, rice and vegetables to meet the starch requirement). However I have little confidence any susbstantive change will be made from a federal level. This is a local issue that needs to be handled as such. I think slowly this is starting to be come more of an issue at local levels, I know around here in hippieville it is. None of this is going to work by forcing Lunch lady Flo from changing her ways that she has established over 30 years. It is going to require parents to overhaul the system in their schools and turn the entire system on its head.

Edit: Fuck I brought it back on topic. I prefer Tater Tots to fries any day. Chicago is the only city that regularly has them on the menu.
